In The News:Cops Save “Jarhead” Skunk With BB Gun:These are the salad days for one lucky skunk. Officer James Kellett said a skunk whose head was stuck in an empty salad dressing jar wandered into the police station’s parking lot Thursday in Carrollton Township, near Saginaw and about 80 miles north of Detroit. Kellett wanted to serve and protect the white-striped weasel, but wasn’t interested in any resistance — spray or otherwise. So he grabbed a BB gun used in hunters’ safety courses and shot at the jar from about 40 feet. The shots cracked and shattered the jar, leaving a glass collar around the skunk’s neck. With its head free, the skunk ran off. “I didn’t want to use deadly force, and it is a residential area,” Kellett told The Saginaw News. “The way he was when he took off, he was able to eat, breathe and spray — and do anything else skunks like to do.” Get A Flight “IN” India For Just A Few Bucks:An Indian entrepreneur is giving people who cannot afford to fly the chance to experience air travel for just £2. Passengers pay for the experience of sitting on a plane, listening to announcements and being waited on by flight attendants. The plane has only one wing, no lighting and the lavatories are out of order. The air-conditioning is powered by a generator. But about 40 passengers turn up each Saturday to queue for boarding cards. In a country where 99% of the population have never experienced air travel, the “virtual journeys” have proved a roaring success. Customers buckle themselves in and watch a safety demonstration. But when they look out of the windows, the landscape never changes. Hooked On Facts:The city of Las Vegas has the most hotel rooms in the world. More than 100 pizza box-related patents have been issued since 1976! U-Haul is the world’s largest advertiser in the Yellow Pages.

Just Joking:Selling The Car:A blonde made several attempts to sell her old car. She was having a lot of problems finding a buyer because the car had 340,000 miles on it. She discussed her problem with a brunette that she worked with at a bar. The brunette suggested, “There may be a chance to sell that car easier, but it’s not going to be legal.” “That doesn’t matter at all,” replied the blonde. “All that matters it that I am able to sell this car.” “Alright,” replied the brunette. In a quiet voice, she told the blonde: “Here is the address of a friend of mine. He owns a car repair shop around here. Tell him I sent you, and he will turn the counter back on your car to 40,000 miles. Then it shouldn’t be a problem to sell your car.”
The
following weekend, the blonde took a trip to the mechanic on the
brunette’s advice. About one month after that, the brunette saw the
blonde and asked, “No!” replied the blonde. “Why should I? It only has 40,000 miles on it.” Revenge:A grandfather bought a hobby-horse by mail order as a Christmas present for his granddaughter. The toy arrived in 189 pieces. The instructions said that it could be put together in an hour; however, it took the old man two days to assemble the toy. Finally, when it was all put together, he wrote a check, cut it into 189 pieces and mailed it to the company. Backwoods Hillbillies:There were some backwoods hillbillies living across the river from each other, who feuded constantly. John hated Clarence with a passion and never passed up a chance to throw rocks across the river at Clarence. This went on for years until one day the Corps of Engineers came to build a bridge across that river. John was elated; he told his wife that finally he was going to get the chance to cross over and whip Clarence. He left the house and returned in a matter of minutes. His wife asked what was wrong, didn’t he intend to go over the bridge and whip Clarence? He replied that he never had really seen Clarence up close and didn’t realize his size until he started over the bridge and saw the sign: “CLEARANCE 8 FT 3 IN”
